Also it's still 第七天, so if you want to throw grammar to the winds and post something to relax with, that also works.

Guardian, in brief:
啊，幸运你给我喝了一杯咖啡，要不然我可真的要睡过去了... in hopes that the sleepy among us will have less dangerous coffee...

Also, as a 已经 example, have Zhu Yilong singing 后会无期。 Not to end the week on a sad note or anything, oh dear.

我这才刚到办公室呢。怎么，已经想我了吗？
I surprised myself by actually being able to read and understand this entire pair of sentences. Wahoo!

I didn't know there were rules regarding 啊 and 呀 etc! Thanks for that link, which I will slowly work my way through.

Nice!!

And yep, though some of these are imo really just formalisations of how you'd naturally slur sounds together when speaking (i.e. it's much more troublesome to say 天啊 as "a" and not "na")

I suppose I figured you slurred the sounds, but still wrote the same way character rather than using an entirely different one! So many things to learn, so little time.
